Mountain Flower Fine Art Festival The 25th Annual Mountain Flower Fine Art and Wine Festival will be held Saturday May 21 and Sunday May 22nd, 2011 on the Dahlonega Public Square. Come out and enjoy over 70 artists of all varieties and even watch some of them as they create their art on the spot. From pottery to two dimensional art to photography, we have something for everyone. Along with all the fine art, there will be the Garden Expo located in Hancock Park. This is produced by the Master Gardeners of Lumpkin County along with the support of MFAF. The Expo will include large plant and seed sales, as well as speakers hosting programs on a variety of garden related topics. A demonstration garden featuring native plants and wildflowers will be on display. The Garden Expo will have “Future Gardeners” activities for children. Enjoying its second year this year, will be the Georgia Temptations Wine Garden, a sampling of the best wines in Georgia. You must be 21 or older to enter. This is a wonderful way to sample a variety of our Georgia grown and produced wines. There will be a minimal entrance fee to enter the Garden.
